Gidleigh Park

I would give them 6 stars if I could! Just got back from a one-night stay that we booked at the last minute after a friend bought us an afternoon tea as a birthday gift. The whole experienced surpassed expectations.||We stayed in the Lydford room, a dog friendly first floor loft room, slightly detached from the main building. It was more like a mini suite, simply and beautifully designed, with breathtaking views from the double doors and balcony. Great bathroom with nice products.||The dog was thoughtfully catered for with a basket containing bowls, a ball, a torch, poo bags and home made biscuits. She loved the doggy mattress! It was great to be able to have her with us in the lounge to eat (not allowed in the dining rooms). ||The only niggle was having to eat (the amazing) breakfast off a low coffee table. Given that we were the only people in the lounge, I’m not sure why a higher table couldn’t have been brought in temporarily from elsewhere, especially in a hotel where the staff are so keen to cater to your every need! ||Gorgeous grounds and plenty of walking for miles around. Staff couldn’t do enough for you. Afternoon tea was impeccable. We will definitely be back.

A beautiful location, with lovely grounds to explore. The staff and the level of service they gave was excellent. We had a gorgeous cream tea on the terrace, and then a light supper in the sitting room, which was perfect for us. We took our dog, who was very spoiled by everyone, and given her own doggie basket of goodies, which included bed, towel, biscuits and ball. Can't wait to go back again!

Took my girlfriend here for one night and asked her to marry me (thankfully she said yes). The hotel is absolutely stunning. Started the trip with a champagne picnic which we had on the grounds, everything was perfect, come with a blanket for the ground and had very tasty treats in the lunch. Stayed in a room with its own jacuzzi on the roof which was amazing at the end of the night sitting in the jacuzzi looking up at the stars. The room itself was very pretty , we had chocolates and an alcoholic beverage (very tasty) in the room upon arrival.The main meal in the evening was out of this world but one of the best things about the hotel was the staff, they made the whole stay amazing they are so friendly and helpful. Will be coming back.

If you are after a slice of pure tranquility and luxury, then look no further. Myself and my partner stayed at Gidleigh for his birthday and it was truly amazing. We stayed in Cranbrook which was sooo much better than the photos online, we were blown away by the bathroom! Delicious food and the best service we have ever had. Highly recommend!

My wife and I have been to Gidleigh Park on numerous occasions and I can confirm that the General manager, Simon and his team always make us feel so special from when we arrive until when we leave. It has to be one of the best hotels in the uk. It’s definitely worth ago for a special treat.|Richard & Katie Beazley

Gidleigh Park is a wonderful hotel, and restaurant, set in beautiful gardens. The friendliness and attentiveness and sheer professionalism of the staff more than equates to the best I have experienced from other Relais and Chateau listed properties in France and around the world. Our room was both spacious, extremely well appointed and commanded fabulous views of the gardens, river and hills beyond. ||If you are looking for a treat, a break and an escape, there is no finer choice than here,

We drove here by accident and I'm so glad we did. We only had drinks and chips , but to sit there and take in the view and peacefulness took it to another level. The staff were very professional as you would expect from a full service Restaurant. You can dine inside in the drawing room, the bar area but I would hands down sit outside if possible for the view and relaxed vibe. Sure you're going to pay quite a bit for your food, but just put the cost aside and enjoy the moment. You can pretty much get to all parts of the garden, Petanque lawn and tennis court in a wheelchair. If you're heading down the back driveway in a wheelchair or walking past the greenhouse, block your ears as there is a gun dog/ security dog that goes nuts when you're passing his kennel

We went to Gidleigh Park for their Easter Sunday lunch and it was amazing. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and the food was fantastic. The setting is idyllic, the building and grounds are wonderful. Absolutely loved it.
